[Lxc-users] Running an NFS server within LXC

[David Parks]

It's really a no-go on LXC huh? That's too bad. Glusterfs seems like
overkill, I just want a remote mount for a small, but critical, backup
process. But it must be mounted, I'd rather not clutter up the host OS, as
the whole point of LXC was to keep configuration specific to various
application-components segregated in their own containers.

You cannot make it.
Try glusterfs as a workaround.
